The passive-aggressive guilt tripMy mother is an expert in the guilt-trip. Last week she phoned to say "Happy Birthday" and, after a 10 minute conversation, finished with, "Well, I hope you have a nicer time than I did on the day you were born."
She also stated that she was going to kill herself when she reached 65. On Christmas Day morning. Having rung up to see if there was anything she could bring for lunch.
I think it's just a mother thing, but how good are your relatives and friends at the passive-aggessive?

I can get hair dye for that, but you will always look like shitMy workplace is riddled to death with Nepotism. The worst example being the managers daugther who think she has ideas above her station, when, theoretically, isn't any more important or higher than me.
Anyhoo, while she was floating around the photocopier and fax machine doing something or other, she starts looking at me.
VN: "Oh, you've got a grey hair. Your getting a couple of grey hairs" (sniggers)
Me: "Now, I can get hair dye for that, but you will always look like shit".
Cue office pissing themselves laughing at my silently agressive reply. Given with a completely straight face and sharp, rapier wit.
One of the others in the office chirps up over the laughter "Who, what? who looks like shit now?"
VN: "Oh me, apparently. I look like shit accoring to (my actual name here). Don't I"?
Me: "Yep, got that straight!"
Utter, utter class.
